The fingerings given in this chart are those on the last page of Thomas Stanesby Junior's pamphlet on the "True Concert Flute", a special tenor recorder capable of playing together with other woodwind instruments such as the transverse flute and the oboe, and even playing music written for them.

It covers a range of over two octaves, and makes a distinction between sharps and the equivalent flats, with a different fingering for each.
